Local events and things to do for families and kids around Louisville, Kentucky
My husband and I recently spent a weekend in New Harmony, IN, about 2 hours west of Louisville (and located in the central time zone). We stayed at the New Harmony Inn.

My kids and I discovered a hidden gem in Carrolton, KY recently – General Butler Resort State Park.

My husband and I recently were lucky to get some date time, so we did our own version of Parent’s Day Out and dropped the kids at their babysitter, headed downtown to Waterfront Park, and parked at one of the free lots near the Big 4 Bridge. It was a Sunday afternoon, a rainy one at that, and the place […]

I am for sure a horse lover, I rode and showed American Saddlebred horses for most of my school years. When I was asked to compile a list of the best places to take lessons I jumped all over it. I will say this as a disclaimer, I know that there are so many great barns in the area to […]

The market is located on Main Street on the Oldham County Courthouse Square and is open every Saturday morning 8-1 […]

I visited the new Carmichael’s Kids Bookstore (located at 1313 Bardstown Road) with my daughter during their grand opening party, featuring a street festival in the Highlands a couple of weeks ago. The store has been open since August 4 and is a great new addition to Louisville, the Highlands, and families in the city. How better can you shop locally?! […]
